The wheels aren't as upsetting as I imagined.
Engine bay is the business.

Thank you muches! He is still very much a work in progress in my eyes. I still have a list a mile long of things I want for him and things I want to do to him. LOL

See! No worries! I got this! LOL Engine bay is soon to change little and be a bit more attractive as soon as find a V mount IC. I didnt think it would be so hard to find one just ready to buy without having to buy an entire kit for well over 2k!!! So I'm still hunting, but once I get that figured out the IC piping will match the upper and lower intakes, and the throttle body is coming off to be polished hopefully this winter. Little bits at a time
